Marie was born, raised and educated in Ste-Rose-du-Lac, Manitoba. With an adventurous spirit she attended the Agricultural College in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the tender age of 16. She met the love of her life Joe'', wed in 1934, and settled in Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. She became a loving, compassionate and supportive mother to daughter Léa in 1935. Wanting to expand her horizons, she graduated as a hairdresser in 1945. As an accomplished seamstress, in 1953 she attended the National School of Dress Design in order to further her skills. With Joe being a founding member of the Manitoba Flying Farmers, Marie took an active role and was crowned Manitoba Chapter Queen in 1959. Their shared love of flying resulted in Marie obtaining her Land It Award in 1967. Together, in their private plane, they travelled from the Arctic Circle to Central America. Marie was also very active in many community activities, a strong supporter of her church and a life-long member of the Catholic Women's League. Grand-Grand-Mère's life was rich and full. She loved the outdoors, fishing, hiking, camping and gardening. Marie was extremely creative and skilled in all facets of arts and crafts. She cherished her family greatly and was especially proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Grand-Grand-Mère's fun-loving, adventurous and out-going manner endeared her to all and she never missed an opportunity to participate in the many family activities. Her sharp wit and mischievous humour, intact until her passing, was appreciated by all who came into contact with her. Special thanks to the staff of the 1st floor and the personnel of Foyer Valade for their constant loving care and devotion.
